The #1 Reason Relationships Are Failing Today! How To Create Love That Lasts & Have Better Sex

"Monogamy no longer exists in reality in the sense that by the time it used to mean one person for life. Now monogamy is one person at a time."

In this powerful episode of The School of Greatness, I sit down with world-renowned psychotherapist and relationship expert Esther Perel at the Summit of Greatness. Esther brings her profound wisdom to explore the complexities of modern relationships, diving deep into topics like eroticism, intimacy, and the challenges of finding connection in our digital age. She shares fascinating insights about why people struggle with relationships today, offering practical guidance for both singles and couples. Through personal stories, including a touching revelation about her husband’s kidney transplant, Esther demonstrates how vulnerability and community support are essential for human connection. This conversation is filled with transformative insights that will change how you think about love, relationships, and what makes us feel truly alive.
